I bought this bow thinking it would be a nice, medium-priced carbon fiber-bow (as per picture) but what I recieved was a nice wood bow that looks a lot like the Pernambuco SELECT bow. I believe that the Pernambuco SELECT is the carbon-fiber bow, this bow is the wood, and that all sites selling these bows have inexplicably mixed up their pictures. The bow itself is decent - nicely balanced, with a nice amount of hair and weight. It came with a Made in China sticker attatched to the frog that made it sticky. It's nicer than the cheap bows I had, but I did not recieve what I thought I had ordered.
